Description
Martha Joynt Kumar has recently published, Before the Oath: How George W. Bush and Barack Obama Managed a Transfer of Power (Johns Hopkins UP, 2015). She is professor of political science at Towson University.
The race to become the president has become never-ending campaign on months and months of advertisements, debates, and public rallies. Once elected, the new president has just 11-weeks to get ready to govern. That is the subject of Before the Oath. The book provides a broad look at past presidential transitions, but the real fun is the inside stories of the hand-off of power between the Bush and Obama administrations.Learn more about your ad choices.
